The highly popular "Bitterly Waiting" (tentative translation, Machibouke) toy series, released by GASHAPON, the gashapon division of Japan's Bandai Co., Ltd., is set to release a new product, "Dinosaurs Who Waited Bitterly" (Machibouke Dinosaurs), in the third week of this July! The suggested retail price is 300 Japanese Yen per capsule, with a total of five types of dinosaurs for you to collect.
This "Bitterly Waiting" gashapon series, themed "Always Waiting for You," features dinosaurs sitting in a row! The lineup includes Triceratops, Pteranodon, green & brown Tyrannosaurus Rex, and a Tyrannosaurus Rex that has waited so long it's turned into bones – a truly laugh-out-loud design. Not only are they depicted in expressive, anthropomorphic sitting poses, but their body details are also meticulously sculpted within their 4 cm height, including the Triceratops' frill, the T-Rex's tiny arms, the Pteranodon's wing folds, and more. The bone-shaped T-Rex even boasts exquisite texture, and the humor of waiting until only bones remain makes it an absolute must-have for us!
Beyond the highly popular dinosaur theme and excellent sculpts, this series also captures the Japanese nuance of "Machibouke" – waiting in vain or zoning out – by giving them vacant, dazed eyes that become cuter the more you look at them.
